TalkingToNobody Podcast

On today's episode, Zane interviews Noah Copfer, a stand-up comedian, actor, and fellow American Academy of Dramatic Arts graduate. We talk about his mental health journey and how therapy was a game changer for him, how to be curious instead of judgmental, how he develops is stand-up material and how he strives for it to be a break for the audience. We chat about all the weird shit actors do to prepare, midnight snacks, and putting out content that you feel passionate about and the intrinsic rewards it creates as opposed to the extrinsic ones, like views, likes, fame, all that jazz. His comedy special comes out on YouTube April 12th so be sure to save the date and subscribe to his page. We love to see artists supporting artists. Please enjoy, the authentically honest and hysterical, Noah Copfer!

Put them together and you get the BenAnna Band!BenAnna Band is a children’s band focusing on inclusion and music for all ages, abilities and identities. Both members work in the fields of Early Childhood Education and Music Therapy, so their music as the BenAnna Band reflects their experience and passion for learning, fun, and growth, adding a hearty dash of good old-fashioned silliness while being auditory and sensory aware of their audience's needs!We reminisce about the shows we did together, where their passion for music and music therapy originated, what music therapy is, their song writing process, and the core values they strive to promote through their music.  These two are creating an inclusive, educational, and fun community for kids.
